This has been happening for a while. I worked in IT all my life, and something clicked in the 90’s when all the political correctness crap started. A small percentage of males would bring their toys into the office to decorate their cubes. Dolls basically, but I think they call them figurines or action figures. That seemed to increase in popularity over time.

My father wouldn’t let me play with GI Joe as a kid. He was emphatic that it was a doll and dolls were for girls. The nearest thing I had to an action figure were those little plastic cowboys and Indians, and army men. I’m looking forward to see my grandson play with his Christmas gifts this year. I’m giving him Lincoln Logs and a big pack of cowboy and Indians. My daughter is fine with that and I assume his friends won’t have problems. They are army brats at Ft. Bragg. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find cowboys and Muslims for him to play with.

I can assure you, we girls thought GI Joe was way cooler than Ken any day of the week.

Yes, we’re called “nerds”, it’s okay, you can call us that, we’ve embraced the term :)
